Bathtub Shumee Quatre model 221765 – acrylic bathtub 170 x 75 cm, white

The Shumee Quatre model 221765 acrylic bathtub is a rectangular 170 x 75 cm white bath intended for domestic bathroom installation. The tub offers a smooth acrylic surface that is easy to clean and maintain, a standard depth and internal bathing area suitable for a single adult, and a shape compatible with common plumbing and bathroom layouts. This model is suitable for replacement projects or new installations where a 170 x 75 cm bathtub is required and a clean, white finish is desired.

Advantages

The acrylic construction provides a warm-to-touch surface, resistance to chipping compared with some materials, and a glossy finish that resists staining and is straightforward to wipe clean. The rectangular design optimises space use in standard bathrooms while delivering a comfortable internal bathing area. Lightweight construction simplifies handling and installation compared with heavier cast alternatives.

Suitable for

• Private bathrooms in apartments or houses where a 170 x 75 cm bathtub fits the available alcove or floor space
• Replacement of an existing standard rectangular bathtub with minimal plumbing modification
• New bathroom installations requiring a white acrylic tub with a smooth surface for easy maintenance
• Users who prefer a single-person bathtub with a conventional shape and standard depth

When it may not be suitable

This bathtub may not be suitable where a larger soaking tub, corner tub, or speciality shaped bath is required. It is not intended for built-in whirlpool or integrated heating systems unless specifically modified by a qualified professional. If very high load-bearing or commercial heavy-use requirements exist, more robust materials or reinforced constructions may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Type: Rectangular acrylic bathtub
• External dimensions: 170 x 75 cm
• Colour: White
• Material: Acrylic surface (smooth, glossy)
• Capacity: Standard single-user bathing volume (typical for 170 x 75 cm tubs)
• Installation: Floor-mounted / alcove installation compatible with common plumbing arrangements

How to use

Position the bathtub in the prepared alcove or floor area, ensure plumbing connections for the drain and overflow are aligned, and secure the bath according to installer instructions. Fill with water to the desired level and check that the drain and overflow function correctly. After use, drain the water and rinse the surface; regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners preserves the acrylic finish. For installation, follow local building codes and, if uncertain, engage a professional plumber or installer to ensure correct sealing and support.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 170 x 75 cm external dimensions fit your bathroom alcove or desired installation location
• Check that existing plumbing (drain and overflow positions) aligns or can be adapted without major work
• Consider whether you need additional features such as grab rails, panel access, or anti-slip surface treatment
• Ensure the floor structure can support the bathtub plus water and occupant weight

Usage recommendations

Use soft, non-abrasive cleaning agents and a microfiber cloth when cleaning the acrylic surface to avoid scratching. Avoid prolonged contact with nail polish remover, strong solvents, or abrasive powders. For long-term performance, inspect silicone seals and bathtub supports periodically and touch up seals as needed to prevent leaks.
